G.A.P. Programming

Gravenhurst Against Poverty focuses on three pillars of service:

Food Program

Working in tandem with our G.A.P. Garden Program and the utilization of generous donations from a growing number of local farmers & organizations, G.A.P. is proud to ​offer a twice-weekly Food Program to support ​those in need from our community. 

Wellness

Working with organizations such as the Canadian Mental Health Association, MiND-AID and the YWCA, G.A.P. offered a Building Compassion Speaker Series to the community. G.A.P. is also focused on building a community hub and a dedicated Young Adult Centre (YAC).

Transportation

G.A.P. is proud to set up no-cost taxi rides for essential in-town trips needed by our neighbours for medical appointments, groceries, work, food bank, and laundry.

Providing Food to Those Who Need It Most!

Due largely in part to COVID-19 and the global pandemic, G.A.P. has evolved the Supper Program into a Food Program that is delivered to members within the community every Thursday! Additionally, a weekly Meal Pick-Up program has runs every Tuesday between 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM.
